After Hudson got some major publicity at PyCon Atlanta 2010 I haven’t been as quick as I would have liked with Python-related posts and tutorials. I use Hudson to build and test a number of pure Python modules and C extensions across numerous Python versions (covering 2.4 - 3.1). For most beginners, or those simply looking to get started with Python on Hudson, starting...
This week’s release comes slightly later than usual and is mostly a clean-up of a few bugs. Due to a problem with the Kohsuke’s GitHub mirror of Hudson’s core, I can’t mine the commits for interesting information as per usual so you’ll just have to trust that Hudson 1.353 is chock full of good, wholesome bug fixes. If the problem persists next week, I’ll...
A few weeks ago I passed a job listing that I had found through one of my many Google Alerts for Hudson-related queries to Andrew (abayer), following up on one of those job listings Andrew recently signed an offer to join the nice folks over at Digg to be their resident "build guy." On its own I thought "great for Andrew!" and nothing more,...
I apologize for the lack of posts this week, I’ve been quite pre-occupied and a quirk in the twipFromSvn.py script prevented the generation of this post’s contents earlier; thanks to rpetti it works again! This week was an interesting week in plugin development, a slight regression in the release of Jabber notifier plugin 1.7 resulted in the rapid release of a 1.8 release by kutzi....
While I work on some screencasts and start to get more "Spotlight" interviews lined up, I figured it’s time for a link roll-up for your Tuesday morning reading. We caught a glimpse of a little Java scoreboard app for Hudson from @davefollett Matt Patterson of Reprocessed.org wrote a great post on continuous integration with Rails with Hudson, running both Rspec and Selenium tests. At the hackathon at...
After an exciting week that saw the rushed release of Hudson 1.351 on Monday following a fairly serious regression, Hudson 1.352 was released mid-Friday with a good mix bug fixes and enhancements. Bundled with this release was another localizations drop including translations for ca, es, fi, fr, hi_IN, it, nl, ru, and sv_SE locales. In addition to the nice fancy new community contributed translations,...
Kohsuke just posted a brief write-up on his personal blog about the first day of the Bay Area Hudson hackathon/meetup. He writes: Total of 9 people came and we had a great time talking about infrastructure issues, possible enhancements, design discussions, exchanging tips and plugins that they’ve developed, and otherwise building personal relationships. A number of folks joined us on the #Hudson IRC channel on Freenode...
It’s been quite a busy week, preparing for the Bay Area Hudson hackathon/meetup which starts today, receiving requests for crazy-awesome Hudson stickers and my day job. Regardless, I’ve stumbled across a few links to share in this links roll-up. John Ferguson Smart discusses some of the gotchas with migrating Hudson build jobs from one server to another Learned a bit about how Kim Moir and the...
